I've heard it's helpful to cut the slugs in half initially, so they can figure out the good stuff is inside. Like teaching Miguel to eat fish oil capsules.

Eeeeeewww! Cut them in half? Gross!

I am not sure I am willing to do that even for my beloved chickens.
I guess I do have my limits!

I have several pairs of slugs scissors hanging around just for that purpose...it works!

How sad. Yes and I bet there would have been plenty of beekeepers volunteer. I sure would if it was in my area.

Hopefully they do not have to spray & kill them to clear the highway.
The news said it is a very sticky mess.
And I bet the road crews want nothing to do with bees.
Sad!

I can host one at my house this week, or at the North Bend Farmers Market on Thursday. Thay have a band that plays from 6-8pm, good food, and day-old strawberries for making jam.

Speaking of jam, what are the prices for jam making product where everyone lives? Prices here are outrageous, even on sale. I just looked at QFC:

$4.99 1 small box of sugar-less pectin
$2.99 12 wide-mouth lids (flat part only)
$2.19 12 regular mouth lids (flat part only)
$11.99 1 case of 12 x 12 oz "quillted" jars with lids.

These hideous prices are SALE prices. You'd sink a couple bucks into each jar of jam before you even get the fruit in! I went on vacation in Idaho last summer and paid half that with no sale!

I don't need any more jars, but for anyone who lives where these items are cheaper, I'll gladly send you some $ to fill a flat-rate postage box with lids and pectin, and I'll even send back a couple jars of jam.

I just went to my grocery store here in Raymond, and the tight wad produce guy has a cheap quick day-old sale rack, and on it was 4-5 flats of strawberries that had maybe 1 slightly icky on in each plastic tub, 12 tubs per flat, each tub was 99 cents.
I bought a mess, washed, sliced, tossed 2 or 3 berries and froze the rest
